Family physicians provide continuing, first-contact medical care to people of all ages, handling whatever walks through the door and referring on when a case needs specialist input. The distinguishing feature of the work is breadth and relationship over time rather than depth in one organ system. A meaningful share of the day is documentation, results review, and coordination rather than consultation.

Specialist physicians practise in a defined branch of medicine (cardiology, oncology, paediatrics, and many others) assessing referred patients and managing conditions that need depth rather than breadth. Work is typically split between clinics, inpatient rounds, procedures or investigations, and multidisciplinary meetings. Teaching and supervising trainees is usually part of the role.

Physician assistants practise medicine within a scope agreed with a supervising physician, seeing patients, forming assessments, and contributing to treatment plans. The role is generalist by design, so practitioners often move between specialties over a career. Recognition, title, and scope differ considerably between jurisdictions.
